PROM TICKET SALES LAG. SPECTOR SAYS
Larry Spector, senior class president, yesterday said that unless more tickets are sold for the Senior Prom Saturday night, there will be no orchid lei favors for the girls.
“We must sell 75 bids before the university will let us purchase the leis, and they must be ordered Tuesday (today), Spector said.
He blamed lack of sales to the fact that many students still do not realize anyone, whether a senior or not, may go to the prom.
$3 Bids
The S3 bids are on sale at the ticket office, second floor of the Student Union.
The Saturday night dance will be held at the Riviera Country club, and will feature Freddy Martin and his orchestra. The senior queen and two attendants will be crowned at midnight.
Final eliminations for queen will be held tomorrow at the Kappa Sigma house, 6:45 p.m. Final-
ists are Anne De Freece, Pi Beta Phi; Gerry Reich, Phi Sigma Sigma; Joyce Martin, Delta Gamma; Virginia Morris, Alpha Delta Pi; Joyce Palmer, independent; Alberta Slater, Chi Omega; and Joanne Stevenson, Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Senior Ditch
The long awaited senior-ditch will come Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Deauville Beach club. Spector said the ditch will be held as planned, although part of the beach club burned some time ago.
The traditional Senior Vesper services will be held Thursday evening at 7, with Bishop Gerald B. Kennedy of the Los Angeles Area Methodist church, addressing the seniors. Bishop Kennedy will give a talk, "Good News,” at the University Methodist church.
Seniors also will attend the ’53 club luncheon Thursday, May 21, at Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall.
Yesterday’s DT erroneously stated
the luncheon would be held Thursday, May 14.
Noted Educator Sees Rocky Road For Germany
by Bob Krauch
The United States of Europe will, and must, become a reality, Dr. Werner Richter, rector of the University of Bonn, Germany, told students in-a convocation address yesterday.
“Unity will come about—but only with time, patience, and all the ingenuity politicians can muster,” he said.
Dr. Richter, who spoke on “The European Situation and Germany,” is on a one month’s visit to the United States, and this was his only leqture in the Los Angeles area. He is one of Europe’s most distinguished scholars and educators.
“Europe faces a far different problem in its unity than that experienced here in America,” he said. “There is no virgin soil and the mighty powers of national traditions create a strong obstacle.”
German Recovery
Turning to the situation in Germany itself, Dr. Richter presented seven points * which are slowing German recovery and unification.
1—Economic difficulties. They cannot expect as much financial aid from the United States in the future.
2—The exhausted state of European countries. In the manpower situatioft, alone, there is an impressive lack of workers between the ages of 35 and 50.
3—Forms of nationalism are not dying out. World War II did not thoroughly convince some Germans that strong nationalism is not the best solution. The ideologies still persist.
England Disinterested
4—England is to some degree disinterested in the problem. The English feel their economy has little to gain from Germany’s integration into a united Europe.
5—Political intricacies. It is difficult for Germany to grasp the politics of its European neighbors. Each nation has difficulty understanding the others.
6—Germany’s geographic split. Eastern Germany is occupied by the Russians; its ideologies are being changed. Berlin and other major cities are cut off from the Western countries.
7—France vs. Germany. France always has felt she preceded Europe in culture and civilization. Unity would change this. She still is afraid of German political power and dominance.

Geology Head To Discuss Famous Gems
Prompted by current interest in the coming British coronation, Dr. Thomas Clements, head of the geology department, will discuss “Famous Diamonds” before an SC Intersorority Mothers club meeting next Tuesday
The meeting will be held in Town and Gown, and officers for the coming year will be elected.
Dr. Clements will show a university collection of reproductions of six of the world’s largest diamonds. The collection includes the Kohinoor, Cullinan, Orloff, Great Mogul, Florentine, and Star of the South. The collection was bought from Germany before World War II for $25. The reproductions are made of lead glass and have a high brilliance and luster.
At Coronation
Originals of two of the diamonds are in possession of the British royal household, and will
be seen at the Coronation, Dr. Clements said.
The 530-carat Cullinan No. 1, largest of the group, is set in the king’s scepter, but can be removed and worn on a chain. The 317-carat Cullinan No. 2, not represented in the SC collection, is in the king’s crown. From the original Cullinan which weighed 3100 carats, 101 diamonds were cut. Most of them weigh 20 carats or less, Dr. Clements said.
The Kohinoor, now in the queen’s crown, originally was 180 carats when presented to Queen Victoria by the British East India company. It was recut and lost 80 carats in the process.
In Hands of Reds Not in the collection of British crown jewels is the 200-carat Orloff. It still is in the hands of the Soviet Union after passing through a strange history of intrigue. A French army deserter, after years of planning which included changing his religion, finally was admitted to an inner room of a South Indian temple, where he stole the Orloff from the eye of an idol.
It passed from the Frenchman to a sea captain for $10,000,. from the captain to a Persian merchant, from the merchant to Count Gregory Orloff for $200,000 and a $20,000 annuity, and the count gave it to Catherine the Great of Russia. Orloff lost favor in Catherine’s court and was expelled from the country, but Catherine kept the jewel.
India Seeks Equal Voice In Mid-Eastern Affairs
India does not want to be regarded as a second-class power. She wants to be consulted about Middle Eastern policies the same way the British are, said Dr. Tar-aknath Das, professor of public affairs at New York uniersity, at a recent campus talk.
Dr. Das spoke on the present trend of foreign policy of free India. He said India did not enjoy sovereign privileges until 1950. when that country became a republic.
“India desires the preservation of world peace and the enlargement of world freedom in her foreign policy,” he said.
Won’t Be Neutral m
“India cannot and will not remain neutral concerning policies affecting the Middle East,” said Dr. Das. “Due to its geographical location it must play an import-
ant part in the development of that, area.”
“Any foreign policy-of America which does not take account of India’s growth, especially in the development of the Middle East and Asia, is bound to fail.
British Approach “No military policy should be made without considering India,” he asserted, touching upon the anti-Indian approach the British aparently have concerning the defenses of the Persian Gulf.
India’s foreign policy has been one of “cooperating with the Communists in China,” he ,said, but that India cannot ignore the Communists in China because India’s northern frontiers are open to attack, and it is doubtful if India could protect herself from an attack on that front.

The geese in Hollywood Park's infield will have to go it alone today!
The 1953 Goose Girl, SC alumna Pat Johnson, yesterday said she won’t take over her role of chaperon to the geese until tomorrow, since opening day of the meeting was postponed.

Geology Head To Discuss Famous Gems
Prompted by current interest in the coming British coronation, Dr. Thomas Clements, head of the geology department, will discuss “Famous Diamonds” before an SC Intersorority Mothers club meeting next Tuesday
The meeting will be held in Town and Gown, and officers for the coming year will be elected.
Dr. Clements will show a university collection of reproductions of six of the world’s largest diamonds. The collection includes the Kohinoor, Cullinan, Orloff, Great Mogul, Florentine, and Star of the South. The collection was bought from Germany before World War II for $25. The reproductions are made of lead glass and have a high brilliance and luster.
At Coronation
Originals of two of the diamonds are in possession of the British royal household, and will
be seen at the Coronation, Dr. Clements said.
The 530-carat Cullinan No. 1, largest of the group, is set in the king’s scepter, but can be removed and worn on a chain. The 317-carat Cullinan No. 2, not represented in the SC collection, is in the king’s crown. From the original Cullinan which weighed 3100 carats, 101 diamonds were cut. Most of them weigh 20 carats or less, Dr. Clements said.
The Kohinoor, now in the queen’s crown, originally was 180 carats when presented to Queen Victoria by the British East India company. It was recut and lost 80 carats in the process.
In Hands of Reds Not in the collection of British crown jewels is the 200-carat Orloff. It still is in the hands of the Soviet Union after passing through a strange history of intrigue.

The geese in Hollywood Park's infield will have to go it alone today!
The 1953 Goose Girl, SC alumna Pat Johnson, yesterday said she won’t take over her role of chaperon to the geese until tomorrow, since opening day of the meeting was postponed.

Pat, 1951 SC Homecoming queen and a major in psychology at Troy, already has had a gander at the geese.
“I was out there the other day,” she said. “I like them and they seem to like me. I don’t think I’ll have to use any applied psychology on them because they're well-behaved.”
